There Gorun's two brothers were killed. A Kurd took possession of Gorun, and he was a shepherd by that man many years. Once the Kurd went to Diarbekir, Gorun was with him. There Gorun met with an Armenian, who hid him in his house till he was able sending him to Mardin. From there our helper sent him per motor-car to Aleppo.
